Immortals have vanished, colossal demons have disappeared, spiritual energy has dissipated, and demonic power has dried up. The martial arts world has entered a new era. Su Mu, the crown prince of a small, remote kingdom, awakened the soul of the Ancient Azure Dragon, only to have his destiny forcibly stripped away on the very day of his birth. A toxic poison was implanted within him, leading to the destruction of his family and leaving him with little time left to live. He joined a sect, where he endured endless humiliation. By a stroke of serendipity, he obtained a single drop of divine-demon blood, and from that moment on, he embarked on a path of vengeance and rebirth. A single drop of divine-demon blood can devour the radiance of the sun and moon.
Chapter 29: Seeking a Battle
He sensed further changes occurring in his body and hurriedly turned his inner vision inward to inspect. Good heavens! The Source Energy flowing around his Dantian swirled freely in a vortex-like pattern, while within the Dantian itself, it had condensed into a solid mass—the foundation for cultivating Source Energy Seeds, known as Source Soil. The Source Soil clearly contained black, heavy sand, and its color was tinged with a hint of black. Not only had he broken through to the Soul-Opening realm, but he had also surged straight to the Perfect Realm. As he walked in, he saw everyone inside hard at work; here, everyone except Zhong Da had to labor. As soon as Su Mu walked over, he immediately caught the attention of the group around Zhong Da. The burly man with the dark face, nicknamed “Black Hand”—a moniker earned for his ruthless methods—was Zhong Da’s right-hand man. He led his men to surround Su Mu and bellowed, “Kid, what are you doing here?” “I’m here to see Zhong Da.” “Looking for Brother Da? Oh, you’re not here to surrender, are you?” “I’m here to make him surrender to me,” Su Mu said with a nod. The crowd immediately burst into laughter, and Black Hand was so infuriated he couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you drunk, kid? Or have you lost your mind from some illness? Are you even thinking straight? Do you have any idea what you’re saying?” “Of course I do. I think if Zhong Da knows what’s good for him, he’ll accept my goodwill.” The crowd laughed even louder. Black Hand clutched his stomach, tears nearly streaming down his face. “All right, all right. Do you even know how many Source Stones you’ve collected in the past three days?” “Zero.” “Hey! You really are asking for trouble—you won’t die unless you’re courting it. You won’t give Brother Da even a shred of face. If you’re going to offend someone, you might as well offend them to the death, right?” “Get out of my way. I’m here to challenge you—save the nonsense.” “Voluntarily challenge me? Did you all hear what he just said? Did you forget so quickly that you got kicked in the face just a few days ago? This is the first time I’ve seen someone so eager to go to their death. Come with me—the show’s about to begin.”
